Public bug reported: Followed the Bridging guide verbatim at https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/serverguide/network-configuration.html did not create a working bridged network: sudo apt-get -y install bridge-utils sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces #START auto lo iface lo inet loopback
auto br0 iface br0 inet static address 192.168.1.12 network 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 bridge_ports eth0 wlan0 bridge_fd 9 bridge_hello 2 bridge_maxage 12 bridge_stp off #END sudo ifup br0 The 192.168.1.12 IP address was not consumed by another device at the time of attempting this. This is preventing me from instituting a wired > wireless USB dongle > WAP environment.
